Installing Electric Vehicle Chargers from the Brand You Can Trust

• AC Charging – AC power is put into the vehicle from a charging station, and then the converter inside the vehicle converts it to DC power.
• DC Charging – the charging station, with a built in convertor, converts AC to DC, and then the vehicle receives DC power directly from the charger, allowing for faster charging.  DC Charging is often referred to as Level 3 Charging

Yes!  There are many Federal and State rebates and incentives being offered to promote the widespread adoption of electric and other alternative fuel vehicles, including tax breaks, reduced utility rates and more.  Whether you are an EV driver or a business owner, see which apply to you.

The following list includes important safety features you should think about prior to selecting a Level 2 EV Charging Station:

• Pick an EV Charging Station with the latest industry standards including meeting Underwriter’s Laboratory and National Electric Code Requirements
• Make sure the manufacturer provides additional safety features such as ground monitoring circuitry and over temperature protection

Leviton offers licensed electrical contractors a training to become a Certified Installer of our public charging stations. This detailed, self-paced training covers all you need to know to successfully install Leviton EVSE, including site readiness, mounting hardware details, electrical connections, station assembly, and installation validation.

Depending on your location, there may be EV-Ready Building Codes in place. These codes require the building’s infrastructure to be designed ready to install EVSE, including electrical wiring, panels and conduit. Being EV-Ready can save tons of time and money rather than retrofitting.

Depending on your application and location, there will be other electrical devices to complete the total EV infrastructure. This includes Leviton surge protective devices, submetering solutions, safety disconnect switches, and more.

One way to do this is by having the contractor/installer use an EV tester. These devices take the necessary precautions to ensure your Leviton EV Series charger operates reliably and provides a seamless charging experience. Through the simulation of a vehicle connection, they enable professionals to assess the charger’s ability to connect to Wi-Fi networks, maintain a reliable connection, and communicate with the external systems or mobile applications.
